First, I’ll start by saying Proverbs is a book every female should read at least once a year. Reading through this book in the Bible, I noticed that women are classified into 3 categories;
“It is better to dwell in a desert land than with a contentious woman and with vexation.” Proverbs 21:19 – Phobia (More in Proverbs 25:24 and 21:9)
“A capable intelligent and virtuous woman – who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.” Proverbs 31:10 – Pride (More in Proverbs31: 25-30)
Secondly, I must correct a common misconception. Most men think that when they are good and ready; they will find a good woman to spend the rest of their lives with. Please read the verse below;
“House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord.” Proverbs 19:14
It is no surprise that all these verses confirm what we experience or observe in life today. There are several women out there who cannot control their sexual appetite; they fall under the first category.
26 “She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].”
27 “She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat.”
28 “Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, [saying],”
31 “Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]!”
(Amplified Bible)
- “A man’s ruin,” who destroys the life of every man in her life,
- “A man’s phobia,” who cannot keep a man because of her attitude and
- “A man’s pride,” who is a blessing from God.
“It is better to dwell in a desert land than with a contentious woman and with vexation.” Proverbs 21:19 – Phobia (More in Proverbs 25:24 and 21:9)
“A capable intelligent and virtuous woman – who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.” Proverbs 31:10 – Pride (More in Proverbs31: 25-30)
Secondly, I must correct a common misconception. Most men think that when they are good and ready; they will find a good woman to spend the rest of their lives with. Please read the verse below;
“House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord.” Proverbs 19:14
Proverbs 18:44 again confirms that finding a wife is favor from God. Therefore, a man should always pray and depend totally on God for a wife. Depending on yourself or your family without God will only lead to disaster!
It is no surprise that all these verses confirm what we experience or observe in life today. There are several women out there who cannot control their sexual appetite; they fall under the first category.
There are several more women that cannot control what they say; they fall in the second category. A woman must control when and how much she opens her mouth and her legs. Only then will she be able to fall in the third category.
Well, I guess the conclusion is...if you want to be a woman of great worth…you should be the woman described in Proverbs 31. Below are some of the verses that really stood out to me:
26 “She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].”
27 “She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat.”
28 “Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, [saying],”
31 “Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]!”
